TED Talks is a famous show for one reason: it awakens the deep sense of success and hard work in people. When motivational speakers step on the podium to share their stories and insights about happiness, wealth, business, wellness, and so on, we can’t help but feel we can do the impossible; that we can achieve all the dreams we’ve shelved for years.
What sets these special people apart in their connection with the audience. They possess specific traits and behavior that turn heads and command attention. If you are a woman looking to become a motivational speaker in the near or distant future, stick around as we unveil some of the things female motivational speakers have in common.
They Communicate Confidence
Standing in front of a crowd of ten people – let alone thousands requires a high level of confidence. Without it, you cannot inspire a monkey. Motivational speakers must believe in themselves enough to share their pieces of advice and wisdom nuggets to the world. They must have confidence in what they are talking about and their ability to showcase these skills everywhere they go.
They Know How To Adequately Prepare
Whether it is Paula White or Stacey Mackenzie, a female motivational speaker does all she can to understand her target audience before stepping on stage. You must do your own homework to know who will be listening to you. This includes things like their stress points, what they would love to hear, where they need support the most, and so on. Doing this gives you a vision of your message so you can tailor it to meet their deepest demands.
They Know How To Use Humor Appropriately
One of the things female motivational speakers do is to make their audience laugh their hearts out. Getting them to laugh eases the tension, breaks some ice, and sets the stage for a better reception of your message. However, you must balance your craft. A good public speaker knows how to make people laugh without veering off the track. We don’t mead stand-up comedy but occasional laughter and stabs will go a long way in making your message reach home.
So there you have it: three important traits of a female motivational speaker. Do you want to be the next Suze Orman or Marilyn Hickey? Check whether you have these traits before telling all your friends that you are the next big motivational speaker in town. And if you don’t possess any (or all) of the highlighted traits, start practicing them now.
